Cree drops 194 vertical feet over 916 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 880 feet below the top. That's steeper than 42% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 38 named runs at Teton Pass. It faces east.

How well Cree holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Cree gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 6,450 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
